Just curious how the seas are down there this time of year and how clear the water is, what shape the beaches are in, after the storm season. Enjoy!Originally Posted by chrissyDee

The seas have been calm but the water was a bit murky here in Aruba. Spoke to a diver that dove a wreck and he found the same
Conditions. Sun is sure hot though !

We relaxed like crazy on the first 2 sea days. Did a few ships activities but not much. I went to the casino the first night and really didn’t like it. Too crowded and not big enough. Only want back once for a cigarette on Monday. It’s saving me money!
We have a decent table in the dining room with very nice servers. We’re pretty antisocial so it’s a table for two ha ha.
Yes, I know there are carbs in wine. I don’t care. I signed up for the seven bottle wine package which is suiting me quite well since FRAnk doesn’t drink. The first night I behaved. The second night a drink the whole bottle and then an after dinner drink. Next morning I did have a hangover. I didn’t like it.
Yummy shrimp with a dipping sauce. It came with nice crusty bread which I removed.
I had a nice Caesar salad and then prime rib without the baked potato or the corn on the cob. Our dude was kind enough to sub steamed vegetables. It was good
We have been starting our day off at the buffet. My go to is an omelette. This one was bacon Swiss and tomato I think and quite delicious. Then I throw some other stuff on the plate and pick it all of it. Breakfast is the best meal of the day when you are trying to avoid carbs.
I don’t do sushi but they had a lovely set up one day at the buffet.
I just had stuff that day. Like all the fajita fixings without the tortilla and it was good.

This was a surprisingly tasty fish stew I had for dinner the other night. It was basically a water based broth but my dude added olive oil and cracked pepper and it was very good. Shrimp scallops grouper and little bitty clams. And again, I did not eat the beautiful crusty bread that would have been perfect to sop everything up with
Another lunch of stuff from the buffet. My favorite part of this was roasted pumpkin and it had no sweeteners but it was still very comforting. I miss my carbs

Smoked Duck breast. So so good!
Is that French onion soup you ask? Yes it is. (I got most of the crouton out of there) but I could not resist and it was absolutely decadently delicious.
I had tenderloin medallions for my entrée and I forgot to take a picture but they were very good with summer vegetables.
Today is Aruba. We took a tour.
Where the Natural Bridge used to be.
Now they have a baby Bridge.
If you want comfort of any kind, Do Not Take This Tour Bus.
Luckily we ended the tour at Arashi Beach where we swam and snorkeled. I may have had a beer ( but it was a baby beer). It is a lovely spot.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention just another of my transportation glitches. When we boarded our tour bus to leave the port today, we were advised there was a mini strike due to friction between the independent tour operators and either the government or the big operators. I’m pretty sure it was due to bribes & protection money not getting where it needed to go. So, in typical nhcris fashion, my tour was delayed!!
